Clint Eastwood as Manco!

http://s13.zetaboards.com/In The Balcony/topic/374317/54/

Cop a look at #804 - Clint was referred to as 'Manco', or 'Monco' on the subtitles which translates to 'Le Manchot' en Francais!

Le Manchot means 'one-arm' but also has another amusing meaning.

Not a lot of people know that! :-D
